“I left the country thinking well of Gardner and even tried to find him several times. But his stories are made up. It’s sad, but that’s the way it goes in war, and especially in politics.”

Mr "Winter Soldier" knows whereof he speaks!

It looks like the Kerry machine has done a pretty good job at assasinating this person's recollections. I'm sure the rest of the Kerry crew, that he has been able to contact, have been well compensated.

[Porterville]

I'm not sure what to say- is this Time Magazine? The communist rag?

Douglas Brinkley also happens to be a proud journalist/writer of the leftist elitist variety. He was a strong supporter of Clinton during impeachment.

. . . explaining how Kerry never backed down . . .

Except when it came to serving his full tour . . . Then he backed down as quickly as he could pull strings.

[woofie]

So 9 out of 10 say Kerry was a leader? ..BS ...This guy sounds right on....

[CWOJackson]

Notice how they tie him to that right wing wacko...Rush Limbaugh! Repeatedly. Gasp.

[Mo1]

Well .. the only way to find out who is telling the truth is for Kerry to release his military records

No surprise there

[kcvl]

Kerry has been extremely lucky that 9 out of his 10 crewmen have almost identical stories about his valor during various firefights and skirmishes.

Maybe it wasn't just luck, especially since some of them miraculously showed up at his CAMPAIGN, as he tried to tell us that it was a surprise. Later we found out that was a lie. He knew all along they were going to be there. His campaign had contacted them and arranged the meetings.

[Mo1]

You know .. I don't remember Time ever printing so many curse words before

Gee .. do you think it was to make this guy like a wacko from the right?

"John Kerry is the, kindest, warmest, bravest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life."

[kcvl]

Does that sound like the John F. Kerry that we know? lol!

[Fledermaus]

This is a soft piece to make people think Brinkley is objective.

The entire book is a Kerry hug-fest.

[fella]

If all the others have the exact same story that means that they've been coached because any group of people will recall an incident differently and not exactly the same.

Gee .. do you think it was to make this guy like a wacko from the right?

Nah...Ya think?

Douglas Brinkley, whose most recent book pines for a better historical portrait for Jimmy Carter, one of the biggest presidential failures of the century.

Here was Professor Brinkley on CNN, doing the same refurbishing routine for Bill Clinton: "Hopefully, we'll have a fuller view and also understand that he's had a great many important strengths. He is the first post-Cold War president, he had to put America into -- he signed a lot -- over 200 trade pacts around the world, NATO expansion, at least attempts at peace in places like Bosnia and Northern Ireland and the Middle East."

On Saturday night, Tim Russert booked Clinton biographer David Maraniss and the ubiquitous Doris Kearns Goodwin. Maraniss's biography is much more balanced than his syrupy 1992 Clinton campaign dispatches. (Any biographer more critical of Clinton - from Meredith Oakley to R. Emmett Tyrrell to Roger Morris - need not even bother trying to get on TV.) Goodwin is a regular on both Jim Lehrer's "NewsHour" on PBS and NBC and its cable outlets. Every once in a while, they'll note she worked for Lyndon Johnson. But they'll never mention she's a Friend of Bill and Hillary. (They loved her book on Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt so much that she was awarded one of those hundreds of Lincoln Bedroom sleepover slots.)

Then on Today on Monday morning, Katie Couric welcomed Douglas Brinkley and Doris Goodwin. Brinkley worried: "I think the serious scholars looking at the Clinton presidency will be able to pick and choose the best part, but unfortunately like Nixon, we don't realize Nixon is the father of the Endangered Species Act or the Environmental Protection Agency. We think of Nixon as Watergate. And I think Clinton will be remembered predominantly for impeachment, even though many other good things occurred on his watch."

I CAN'T THINK OF ONE!!!
